The new magnetic encoders from Posital provide absolute position feedback They are available with multi-turn measurement ranges which can be useful when a motor is connected to a screw shaft, cable ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

RSF Elektronik MSA 7/8 linear encoders for high-end metrology position feedback. Available through HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in North America. The MSA 7/8 series encoders are ideal for high-end metrology ...

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

The right feedback sensor is a key in motion systems that do what they are supposed to. Incremental disks are simple, having only one track shared by two sensors. The sensors are mounted so their ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

Coueron, France — Haydon Motion Europe now offers its size 8 hybrid linear actuators with encoder feedback. Suitable for both high- and low-volume motion control applications, the encoder module ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...
